Olajuwon was in the basket area, so he didn’t have position to draw an offensive foul. Besides, he hit K.J. with his arm.

KJ used his off arm to clear Olajuwon out; that was an offensive foul.

Historically underrated, one of the best point guards of all-time.

Unfortunately, he and the rest of the Suns met up with MJ in his peak. He could have gotten a ring too that could easily cement him as one on the better guards. Now, only these special moments like his dunk, we can remember him by.

I remember that dunk over Olajuwon. He came from the left baseline and threw it down with authority. The way he reared back and flushed it over Olajuwon made it seem like he was suspended in mid-air for several seconds. It truly was one of the sickest dunks ever and my favourite of all time (of the magnitude where Carter put that Frenchman in between his legs).

I used to have a crush on KJ, and even knew a girl that turned him down at the height of his career because she didn’t know him that well and thought he was too short, yes stupid chic!

As an undersized baller myself (5′8″) KJ was one of my favourites players in the NBA while I was in high school! Thanks for the nice blast from the past today Brian.

Thanks for the KJ stuff. My favorite player of all time. People forget how good he was before the constant hamstring issues. The trade was probably one of the most interesting of all time also. The Suns got FOUR starters (KJ, Mark West, Ty Corbin and the pick that became Majerle) - can’t say that’s ever happened before or since. Meanwhile, the Cavs of Price, Nance and Daugherty had 3 54+ win seasons in the first 5 after Nance arrived. A rare trade that helped both teams.
